Sadio Mane Net Worth - How Much Is Senegal Star Worth?

Sadio Mane was born and raised in Bombali, Senegal, a town built on the banks of the Casamance River.

Forbidden from playing sport as a child it wasn’t until the age of 15 when the future Champions League winner’s potential was unearthed, the youngster running away to the capital city of Dakar whereupon his abilities were spotted by a local club.

Soon after Generation Foot came calling, a team that has won the Senegalese top division three times in recent years, and what’s the betting Mane scored an abundance of goals there, eventually attracting French side Metz to make a move. 

Alas, there is scant evidence to be found of his scoring feats on home soil.

What we do know is that it only took 19 appearances for struggling Metz to entice RB Salzburg into making a €4m bid and once settled in Austria the forward began a pattern the world of football has since become very familiar with. 

Coming in off the left flank, Mane would use his blistering speed to terrorise defences, in doing so carving out opportunities for both himself, and his team-mates.

A £11m move to Southampton followed, and not only did this represent a quantum leap for his career but it was a big money-jump too, the player now benefitting from the lucrative rewards of the Premier League. 

After impressing on the South Coast he joined Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool revolution, his £34m fee making him the most expensive African footballer at the time.

From there, it has been a consistent story of goals, success and silverware, not least winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal in 2022. 

That same year the Bundesliga was won with his next club Bayern Munich, before the immense riches of the Saudi Arabia proved impossible to turn down.

All of this glory, along with a decade and more of devastating football, has made Sadio Mane an extremely wealthy individual.

How Much Is Sadio Mane Worth?

Sadio Mane’s current net worth is estimated at around £25 million, a sum largely made up of Premier League and Bundesliga wages, bonuses and signing-on fees.

As we’ll discover, that is set to mushroom very shortly. 

A late bloomer in many regards, the forward has made up for it since, accruing £5m-plus per year in wages alone during his latter seasons at Liverpool before enjoying a bumper pay rise when joining Bayern. 

Away from football, his list of endorsements isn’t as comprehensive as some other Premier League stars, though he has had partnerships with Indonesia Tourism and Western Union.

There has also been two lucrative affiliations struck up with sporting behemoths New Balance and Nike, each bringing in several million pounds per annum.  

For the latter, Mane took part in a high-profile campaign that included a television advertisement. 
A recent move into property may also prove prosperous, Mane reputedly purchasing four luxury apartments in Dakar. 

What Is Sadio Mane's Salary?

Across six seasons on Merseyside, Mane established himself as a feared and prolific forward, a pivotal part in Jurgen Klopp’s exhilarating side that brought pride and trophies back to Anfield. 

In 2019 the Champions League was won, a sixth for the club. Twelve months later Liverpool won their first ever Premier League title. 

That success has continued, and each summer the Reds are tipped in our Premier League predictions to come good.

Only then a pay dispute began to rumble on, with Mane wanting more than the £100,000 he was receiving going into the final year of his contract.

Though six-figures was a substantial amount it was still less than some other top-flight stars, James Maddison, Kurt Zouma, Danny Ings and Victor Lindelof to name just four

From Liverpool’s perspective they were more than happy to increase Mane’s salary, he being so important to them, but restricted by their wage structure they were certainly not prepared to go as high as £350,000 a week. 

That was the lofty number on the table from Bayern Munich, a figure that had Mane ranking alongside the highest-paid players in world football.

With a subsequent move to Al Nassr, that is truer now than ever before. 

Transfer To Bayern Munich

It was not simply a large hike in wages that lured Mane across the continent in the summer of 2022. 

Seen to be in Mo Salah’s shadow on Merseyside, this was a chance for Mane to strike out on his own, accepting a new challenge, albeit one that has FC Hollywood annually priced up as strong favourites the Bundesliga odds. 

To the surprise of precisely nobody, Mane lifted a league crown in his inaugural campaign in Germany. Minus Mane, a second was expected this term but, against all expectation, Bayer Leverkusen have had something to say about that. 

From Liverpool’s standpoint meanwhile, the sale was ultimately beyond their control while furthermore, recouping almost all of their original £34m outlay was a shrewd deal for a player with just a year remaining on his deal.

All the same, Jurgen Klopp was under no illusions about Mane’s Anfield legacy.

"It's a big moment. There is no point in anyone trying to pretend otherwise. One of Liverpool's greatest ever players is leaving and we must acknowledge how significant this is.

"He leaves with our gratitude and our love. He leaves with his status among the greats guaranteed and he leaves in a moment where he is one of the best players in world football.”

Al Nassr Career

And then came the twist, as one of the best players in world football became the latest star to jump aboard the Saudi gravy-train, joining Al Nassr in a £24m deal last summer.

Playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the Middle East is set to skyrocket Mane’s finances into another orbit entirely, his £650,000 a week wages exceeding anything available in Europe or indeed elsewhere.

Should Mane see out his three year commitment to playing in an inferior, but emerging, league, he will bank a reported £136m tax-free.  

Charity

Growing up in a village 250 miles from Dakar, Sadio Mane’s route to professional football was not straight-forward. He ran away from home at 15 to pursue his dream, eventually becoming a world name and scoring goals watched by millions.

Mane, though, has not forgotten where he came from, becoming renowned for his philanthropy.
Around 70% of families live in poverty in the area Mane grew up, and his father tragically passed away at a young age because there was no hospital in the village.

Along with spending hundreds of thousands to build a school, the former Liverpool star invested almost half a million pounds to create a public hospital.

His support of the Senegalese population is not limited to gaudy donations, however.

He has backed the building of a petrol station and post office, and according to the Liverpool Echo, provides each family with £65 per month and an internet connection. 

Mane is an optimistic and uplifting personality, who has changed the lives of people in Senegal far beyond his performances for the national team.
